Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's lavish wedding on a Friday next month will extend into the weekend.
Brooksbank and the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah, Duchess of York, will exchange vows on October 12 at Windsor Castle's St. George's Chapel, where Eugenie's cousin Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were married in May. However, unlike the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who celebrated their wedding with a single day of festivities, Eugenie and her husband-to-be will continue their party on the Saturday after the ceremony.
Following the ceremony, the newlywed couple will attend a lunch at Windsor Castle hosted by Queen Elizabeth II and then party the night away at Royal Lodge, Eugenie's family home on the lands surrounding Windsor Castle. But the celebration won't end then: It will continue on Saturday with a festival-style function set to include a fairground and food stations, according to People.
The event is reportedly being thrown by Bentley's Entertainment, the company royal family friends Victoria and David Beckham used to organize their lavish wedding party at an Irish Castle in 1999. Eugenie's cousin Zara Tindall also hired the company for her wedding to Mike Tindall in 2011.
Nearly 500 guests are expected to attend Eugenie and Brooksbank's wedding ceremony and the lunch. The guest list will likely include a number of the royal family's famous friends, including the Beckhams, Elton John, James Blunt and Ellie Goulding. Although unconfirmed, there is a possibility George Clooney and his wife, Amal Clooney, will attend the royal wedding since Brooksbank is an ambassador for the actor's formerly owned tequila brand Casamigos.
The wedding ceremony starts at 6 a.m. ET sharp on October 12. It's unclear if the event will be televised similar to Harry and Markle's wedding.
